Pili Construction

About Us

Home › About Us

Founded in Hawaii. Built for Federal Work.

Pili Construction is Native Hawaiian owned and was established with a clear mission: to provide Hawaii's federal agencies and military installations with a reliable, locally-rooted general contractor they can depend on. We saw a need for a small business contractor with deep knowledge of Hawaii's unique construction environment combined with the discipline and compliance standards that federal contracts demand.

The name pili — a Hawaiian word meaning "to cling" or "to be close" — captures our philosophy perfectly. We stay close to our clients through every phase of a project. We stay close to our community, prioritizing local labor and subcontractors. And we stay close to the details that make the difference between a good project and a great one.

Based in Lihue on the island of Kauaʻi, we serve federal clients across all the Hawaiian islands.

How We Work

Every federal project comes with high standards and real accountability. Here's what you can count on from Pili Construction on every contract.

Compliance First

We build our processes around federal requirements — FAR, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, certified payroll, OSHA safety standards, and federal reporting. Compliance isn't an afterthought; it's baked into every workflow from day one.

Transparent Communication

We believe in open, consistent communication with our clients. You'll always know where your project stands — schedule, budget, issues, and solutions — without having to chase us down for answers.

Local Labor & Subcontractors

Hiring local means hiring people who understand Hawaii's terrain, climate, permitting environment, and supply chain. It also means investing construction dollars back into the communities we serve.

Self owned equipment

Pili Contstruction owns and maintains our own fleet of equipment. This allows us to perform without the delays, restrictions, and constraints other contractors face when they have to rent or ship equipment.

Quality Without Compromise

Federal facilities are built to last and to serve the public. We don't cut corners. Materials are specified correctly, workmanship is inspected rigorously, and every deliverable is built to outlast the warranty.

Safety on Every Site

A safe jobsite is a productive jobsite. We enforce OSHA standards rigorously, conduct regular safety briefings, and maintain an incident-tracking system to ensure continuous improvement.

Procurement-Ready Information

All the information contracting officers need to verify Pili Construction's eligibility and qualifications for federal contracts.
